Carbon Arrows

[Coach Jones]

What carbon arrows do you all like the best?  I am shooting goldtips.  Would like to try the easton axis or beman bone collecters or classics but wondered how much helical you can get on the small diameter shafts.

i like gold tips
as for the second part of your question im about to find out i just got a new blitzenburger for christmas and plan on doing alot of playin around

AD hammer heads, not too concerned with amount of helix.

For me I don't really have a favorite,I have many bows and shoot a lot of different carbons.I shoot Axis,Beman ICS and MFX,AD Trad and Trad Lite and Carbonwood 3000 and Vapor 2000 and Gold Tip's.I get plenty of helical on my Axis/MFX arrows with my Bitz and Jo Jan.Not as much as a larger diameter shaft but plenty.They are skinnier then regular size carbons but they are not like 1514 aluminum which I use a straight clamp on.

I've been using Easton ACC shafts for hunting and I really like them. So far I shot a Bear and a buck with them and have complete pass through on both. I am going to give Victory shafts a try the HV-3 series have the lowest weight to spine ratio of any shaft I've seen and should make a awsome EFOC setup.

You can't go wrong with Beman MFX Classics. Mine have plenty of helical in the feathers on them. Small diameter shafts require less fletching to stabilize them. I use 4" RW.

I ditto the ACC's, with a close second going to Maxima's.

"Beman MFX Classics. Mine have plenty of helical in the feathers on them."
I'll second that

I've had really good luck with the Gold Tips.I like the fact that they take standard 5/16" components and they have been really tough.

MFX with 100 grain inserts, love them.

I would "play" with amount of helical, just to see which works the best.
I don't put as much on as I can get on, I belive there is a point of deminishing returns.

I use Beman MFX Classics (600). I have plenty of helical on my 4" feathers. They are tough, nice looking, and a bit heavier than most other carbon arrows.  I just received some Gold Tip seconds. Maybe it was because they were seconds but the weight difference in three shafts (I only measured three) was 6 grains -- more than I expected (about the weight of 2, 4" feathers).

i use "cheap" carbons - beman ics bowhunter or gt hunter blems.  they all work just fine for bowhunting.

no helical wanted or needed. a degree offset works just fine with a 4" four fletch.

I use AD's.  Nitro Stingers (yellow writing) and Trad Lites.  Have been shooting AD's for some time.  I can set them up a bunch of different ways and get them to work. They tune easy and have every bit of performance that I am looking for. As to heli, the size of the tail end does not seem to create a problem for fletch.
